| Integrated or Power amps compatible with both EL 34 and 6L6 tubes Triode labs / Finale Audio i believe makes a 6L6 amp. Audionote makes many EL34 amps. AudioNote kits also. Ayon another. | |
| Audio Note Cobra or Ayon Scorpio II thanks for the response about the Sugden. good luck. I'd suggest another option. I ran Triode labs 2A3 SET's with my LaScala's and they were some of the best tube amps I've owned or heard. Triode labs / Finale Audio out of Toronto make some stel... | |
| Audio Note Cobra or Ayon Scorpio II -looks the Ayon is way better looking then the bland looking cobra. -The cobra has a nice DAC built in. -Either has more power then you need so that’s not a consideration. -I do prefer the el34 over the KT series on the heritage series. both ha... | |
| Can you touch the tubes? Tubes do not get hot enough for the oils on your fingers to effect them. This partially stems from the halogen lamp (and others) days as those things get white hot. | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... don't even concern yourself with unequal length cables its a none issue at these lengths. | |
| Thoughts and perceptions on the sound quality of Accuphase Digital Products I would have never thought of Accuphase as a leader in digital equipment. I may be wrong but they seem to excel at amplification, etc. not so much in the digital world. You don't see many used Accuphase digital items around which to me is an indic... | |
| Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise I found the main reason for what your experiencing boils down to mastering quality. Many, if not all, recent "remasters" are inferior to the older versions. It's quite apparent if you dig in to the various versions on tidal that many times the new... | |
| Integrated tube amplifier: 4 ohm or 8 ohm connection? @ 4ohm and 85db speaker spec's, my bet is the 4ohm tap is going to be best for your amp. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I've been trying out a used set of ProAc D25's about 15 years old now. I need a speaker to stand in while i look for something more permanent after selling my Spendor D9.2's. So I'm saving up for a while and thought the D25's would be a fine stand... | |
| rocket 88 no 2' wont make any difference. And if you're that concerned get the longer one re-terminated shorter. | |
| Has This Kind of Tonearm Been Made? I've watched my friends Air-bearing Linear tracker and it moves all over the place trying to track the record groves, out of round record, hole not punched exact center, warps, etc. causes issue with liner trackers. somethings to consider | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... maybe the older Macs were a tad rolled off on top but not the newer ones. At least not in my experience I have a mac preamp and power amp. Also Mac has the best resale value of any audio components in the business. The newer mac SS amps are all ab... | |

Multiple DAC inputs and It also allows for TV integration via HDMI ARC connection. you also get the McIntosh looks if that's your thing but mostly the sound and the very... | |
| Best Buy Says Bye-Bye to DVDs I like Blu-Ray's, DVD are out dated by a good margin though. I still find a Blu-ray is better over all then the same movie streamed. And you can get the additions a disk gives you like the out takes and the making of etc. But i can understand w... |
